Few people realize the extent and i'm
portance of the railroads in the United
States. We have grown so familiar with
vast railroad systems that we do not ap'
preciate their magnitude. The building
of new railroad now creates very little
comment. There are about 140, 600 miles
of railroad in the United States. In all
the world outside there are less than
200, 900 miles. We have over two-tifths
of the railroad mileage of the earth. In
the State of Georgia alone there are
several hundred more miles of railroads
than there are in the German Empire
And this proportion is increasing, for
nowhere is railroad construction proceed
ing so rapidly as in the United States.
These facts indicate great change in
the old conditions of commerce. Fifty
years ago an inland town of any consider.
able size would have been an impossi-
bilitY. Population was thick at the ports
and grew sparse with the increasing dis
tance flJm rivers and the sea. Railroads
are now the great channels of trade.
They make ports amid the mountains.
Railroads are bailt right along the banks
of our great rivers, and compete success
fully with water transportation. There
never was time when railroad enterprise
was bolder, or when railroad investments
were, on an average, more profitable. 1t
is impossible to set limit TO the posi-
bilities of railroads in this country. At

How an Earl Coins Money.

Warwick Castle, which is one Of the
great federal castles Of England, affords
"A very handsome revenue TO its present
occupant, the Earl of Warwick through
shilling admissions being charged to view
all except the private living apartments
The present Earl, writes a correspondent
of the New York World, is a poor man
for one in his position. He has been
obliged to live quietly and husband his
resources to do his best to free this
property from the debts upon it when it
came to him. The estate was loaded
with mortgages when he received it.
His oldest son, Lord Brooke, married
few years ago one of the great heiresses
of England. Locking back over the his
tory of this family, l find that nearly all
of its financial successes have come
through the marriage of a rich young
woman. This heiress who married Lord
Brooke is a spirited young lady who re-
fused the hand of Prince Leopold when
it was rendered her few years ago. Up
to within few years there was no ad-
mission fee charged at Warwick Castle.
Then the butler and the housekeeper
were permitted to show people through
dC CCIldlu HOllS VI iut udJ, anu lutJ
were permitted to pocket the fees paid
them. The result was that these two
people accumulated great fortune dur
ing their go years service, and have now
set up as magnates of county kitchen
circles. The present Earl now takes tn s
revenue to himself. One of the peculiari-
ties of this business is that the tickets of
admission are not sold on the castle
grounds. There is a strange avoidance
of any apparent connection upon the part
of the castle with the financial features
of this transaction. At the porter's lodge
you are told that tickets can be bought
at the little humble house in the fendal
row, under the fofty battlements of this
most aristocratic abode of one of the
greatest peers of the realm. You visit
this house and there your money is taken
through little wicket, and in exchange
you are given a ticket which entities
you to be shown through the castle.
COMMISSIONERS are on duty there, and
they display the treasures and the
beauties of the place with the same
business like method and manner oi
people in charge of any of the show
places of London. The money deposited
by the visitor finds its way to bank to
the Earls credit, affording him at tn,
present time clear net income of fully

An AthIetic Prodigy.

Wesley Wech is an athletic prodigy
He has gone barefooted every summer of
his life. His first shoes he paid for with
quails that he trapped He never took
medicine; was never sick. His speed
and endurance on foot are wonderful. A
noted fox chase is recalled in which he
caught the fox after a run Of four hours,
when all but two of twenty-five hounds
had given out in the run of from fifteen
TO twenty miles. He refers TO Mr..
Goodwin and Major Jones, of Memphis,
who saw him catch the fox. About
twenty men on horseback started in the
chase lie is confident that he can eX-
Gel in speed and endurance both hound
and horse in long race. He has made

and night, one hundred and forty miles.

left them behind. On hard journey of
this kind he wants no food but sweet

Buttons From Blood.

A retired member of "the finest" Is
about to engage in new, queer, odorif.
erous but paying business. He is going
to make earrings and buttons from
blood. "Near Chicago" said he, "there

industry in America, lost heavily at it in

are made of blood, but earrings, brooches,

of the same class. In England there are
lots of these factories. In the Bridge
port factories they use about 10000 gal
Ions of blood per day. Only fresh beef
blood is used. Pigs blood, it is be

The sword recently presented to Gen
eral Miles by the people of Arizona is
said to be, with one possible exception,
the finest gift of the kind ever received
by an officer of our army. The hilt is of
white shark skin and gold, and is set
with huge amethyst. 1t is ornamented
also with an engraved portrait of Chief
Natchez. The scabbard, which is of gold,
bears on one side a portrait of Geronimo,
and a series of pictures of warfare on the
frontier. On the other side is the in
scription of presentation. The Spanish
blade is so perfectly tempered that its
point can be made, by bending, almost
to touch the hilt The cost is kept secret,
but is supposed to be not less than

The United States Treasury agent in
charge of the Alaskan seal islands reports
that the British marauders, during the
last season, have taken 5O,OOO skins on
the islands belonging to the United
States. The seals are killed not in the
waters within the disputed jurisdiction,
but on the islands. The British case is
made up on the theory that the offences
against the statutes of the United States
are committed within the waters which
are claimed to be part of the high seas
The fact seems to be that the British YES
sells land their crews on the islands and
kill the seals during the breeding season.
The offense has far larger importance,
therefore, than is involved in an Occa-
sional infrAction of the rights of this
country. If the British position is
agreed to, the result must be the exter-
mination Of the seals.

A farmer near Hudson. Mich, Q

A farmer near Hudson, Mich, got his
wife 60 help him lower his moving ma
chine from the barn loft, where it had
been stored. He fastened rope to it,
and passing it over pulley asked his
wife to hold the end until ne descended.
She had just then taken a hitch with the
rope around her waist, when the mower
crashed down to the floor, and stimuli
tancously she shot up where the mud
wasps do their nest hiding. There has
been only one subject of conversation in
that family since, and she has done all
the talking.

Statistics are not always amusing, but
often suggestive, and those of the Dead
Letter Office are depressing: 4,5OO, 900
letters were last year sent to the Dead
Letter Office for various reasons, of which
$500, 900 were unclaimed letters, 112,-
$50 were returned from hotels, 314, 700
were misdirected, 1884, were held for
unpaid postage, II, 134 were without
address, OF these 4, 044, S45 were opened.
1913, S25 were returned to writers, and
2,556, 900 were destroyed. OF the above
letters II, 3s5 contained money; 20, 26O,
drafts; "a, 400, receipts, paid notes, ETC.,
and $4,000 contained postage stamps
Most of these are sent by occasional let
ter writers, who find the writing and
mailing an irksome duty; and the loss
of letter to them is more annoying
than the loss of a letter to a business

MORNING.
Lol from out the Orient splendoR
Comes the day,

Lol from out the Orient splendoR
Comes the day,
While about his chariot golden
Sunbeams play;
Dewdrops on the meadow grasses
All alight,
Glinting in the yellow sunshine,
Diamonds bright
From around the homely cottage
Where they creep,
Wake the purple morning glories
From their sleep:
Waken roses, fresh and dewy,
To the light,
Blushing from the winds caresses
Through the night.
Listen to sweet nature-music,
'Mong the trees;
Singing bird and rustling leahet;
Humming bees
'Mong the scarlet honeysuckles,
Robbers bold
Are they, with their loads of treasure,
Yellow gold.
And the fragrance Of the meadows,
Perfume rare,
Sweeter than Cashmerian roses,
Fills the air.
Life again has slowly wakened,
Newly born,
And with every bud and blossom
Greets the morn.

Within the past three years four cases
that have excited national interest have
been tried in Chicago, and in each case
the jury has brought in verdict which
has accorded with the evidence and
public opinion. The juries are known
as the "Joc" Mackin jury, the Anarch-
ist jury, the McGarigle jury and the
"boodle" commissioners jury. A con-
yiction has been secured in every case
The results are that Mackin, tried for
altering election returns, is in prison,
the anarchists are awaiting the decision
of the court on an application for new
trial, McGarigle has escaped to Canada,
and the "boodle" commissioners have
either paid their fines or are awaiting
the issue of an appeal to a higher court.
